Can you help someone without actually talking? 

Yes! 

 This is precisely its unique power.

Silent Counselling uses muscle testing, breath work & acupressure meridian points to release stagnant energy or emotional imprints in the body.

The body is home to our subconscious mind and it remembers everything on a cellular level, hence it is important to get to the root cause of the issues, and release them once and for all.

If that energy remains trapped in our body, it can then later manifest to dis-ease or illness in the physical, or self-sabotage and procrastination in the mental, stopping us from manifesting our desires or moving forward in our day to day lives.

You don’t need to ask the client about the cause of their emotional pain.

Some clients may not be willing or able to discuss them – or not even aware of the root causes of their difficulties.

What happens during a Silent Counselling session?

1. During the session, the client is asked to identify an event that is causing him/her an emotional pain/distress. This event could be something that is bothering the client from your past or something they are dreading having to face in the future.

2. The client may talk about the event if they like or may choose to say nothing at all. It works by client briefly thinking about the event.

3. By using muscle testing the therapist helps the client to identify the specific meridians points where the negative emotions are energetically stored and then released through touch and breath work.

Where Silent Counselling started?

Silent Counselling was developed by two energy psychologists Marjorie and John Cooper, in Dundee, Scotland, when a young woman came into their clinic who was so badly traumatized by the events of her life that she was not able to speak. She could only stammer and croak.

It was born out of the urgent need to help her where no existing method could reach.

Marjorie and John were both experienced energy psychologists. They had trained in Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy (TFT) methodology. Marjorie had studied Bio-Energy Healing with Michael Dalton, the architect of Bio Energy. Both were well-versed and experienced in a portfolio of other healing therapies too.

So when Beth (name changed) presented and was not able to speak, Marjorie and John had to draw deeply and quickly on all their knowledge and skills to find a way to help her. Beth had been sexually abused and prostituted from the age of 5; in her teens she’d turned to drugs and alcohol. By the time she was 18 and turned up in the clinic, she was familiar with the inside of a prison.

But she couldn’t talk about any of it.

As they listened and tried to understand the small sounds that Beth was making, they decided to try muscle testing with her, a technique developed by Roger Callahan. And on the spot they paired it with their knowledge of bio-energetic feedback – a little-known technique to get simple yes/no answers to closed questions, where the response is felt in the body.

They were shocked as they started to feel Beth able to release some of her negative emotions in that session. This was effectively the seeds of a technique that grew into Silent Counselling.

Over the course of a few visits, Beth released a lot of her negative emotions.

The course of her life was, for the first time ever, turned around and set in a positive direction. John and Marjorie continued using and evolving the method, offering it to clients as an option with unbelievable results. It had no name at that point – it was their own technique that they simply incorporated into their practice because it was proving so effective.

With the results pouring in, and a desire to share it with as many other people as possible, they eventually gave it a name – simple and descriptive, “Silent Counselling” says it all.
